Former Gov. George Pataki will campaign with two Republican congressional candidates Monday in the northern and southern reaches of the Capital Region.

Pataki, who served three terms in Albany before leaving office in 2006, will join Watertown investor Matt Doheny for campaign events in Plattsburgh, Lake Placid, Glens Falls and Saratoga Springs. The schedule is below. Pataki will then join Rep. Chris Gibson, R-Kinderhook, for a 6 p.m. rally at Mariner’s Harbor in Kingston.
